TicWatch Pro 3 GPS

I’ve owned this watch for 14 days and have enjoyed using this watch all around. It is a very feature rich device and finally a Wear OS that utilizes more modern hardware, is very easy to use, and is priced very nicely. I'm very pleased with the overall performance of this device! I've owned the Sony Smartwatch 3, LG Watch Sport, Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 4G and now the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3. Of each of these watches, the TicWatch Pro 3 wins the prize for GPS connection speed (and maintaining a connection) and accuracy. Now, since this is not a Garmin tracker watch (I've owned a basic one of those too), the accuracy won't be close to comparison because Garmin's primary purpose is GPS tracking. So, of all the smartwatches I’ve owned, this one is also the best for GPS run tracking. It really wins the prize for just about everything else as you'll soon read... I'll get the deltas (or the stuff I thought could be improved) out of the way first. 1) Like the Pro 4G, and maybe this is an industry standard going forward, a charger plug would be great to have rather than guessing if the charger I have laying around the house is suitable and won't blow the watch up if it is left plugged in too long. I get that different countries have different plug configurations and for cost consideration, they don't include one. It's just a drag. 2) The "rubbery" finish of the band seems to be prone to scuffs. The band itself looks great and the scuffing is only visible if you specifically look for it. It is replaceable with a 22mm band of my choosing which is a great plus. 3) I see the blood oxygen sensor is a "bell and whistle" that may be a response to a certain fruity watch including it on their latest watch offering. (The Apple commercial for it even has people in space saying it has a blood oxygen sensor! How many of us are in that situation??) I really don't see the need for it. Maybe the uber athlete has some use for it or those really concerned about COVID... but the average user to me would have little use for it. 4) This is not a knock on the watch or its software.. but a huge negative on Google as Google Play Music no longer is compatible with Wear OS… as it is being moved to the Google cellar of has-been software. What has replaced it in the google-sphere is Youtube Music… but there is no Youtube Music app yet. So, my youtube music subscription is useless for this AND I can’t listen to music without my phone attached to me and use all the extra storage space given to me on this watch. Shame shame google! 5) I'm not happy with the new charger. Wireless would be great, but I think the charger that came with the Pro 4G was better than this one. It comes with a USB-A on one end with a proprietary connector on the other end that magnetically connects to the watch via some pins on the watch. This connection comes off easily if you pick up the watch while it is charging. The charger on the pro 4G was kinda like a case that the whole watch body fit into. That design seems more robust than this one. See the pics. The large rounded one is the Pro 4G charger and the smaller one is the Pro 3 charger. The Awesomes and Exceptionals! 1) I love that it is lighter, thinner and less intrusive on my wrist compared to the Pro 4G. It is very welcome and comfortable. 2) GPS! GPS! GPS! I use the GNSS app to test this feature and compared to all the previous watches I've used, this one connects the fastest, is the most accurate, and stays connected during my runs. I ran with both the TicWatch 3 and the Pro 4G (without assist from the cellular signal). The Pro 4G lost connection soon after it connected and drained the battery about 20% trying to connect again. The TicWatch Pro 3 stayed connected and only sipped about 2% from the battery during my 1.5 mile run. I used the TicExercise app (that connects directly to Strava btw.. another huge PLUS) to track the run on both watches. The GPS tracking on the Pro3 was right on while the Pro 4G... because it lost connection was way off. See my video of the GPS connection speed on GNSS. 3) Battery Life. Compared to early Wear OS watches, the battery life of this watch is phenomenal.. thanks to the LCD screen that is on all the time and the new processor that is said to be more efficient. I have Wifi, 24 hour pulse tracking, BT, tilt to wake, touch to wake, auto detection of activities enabled. I once had the blood oxygen sensor enabled for all day recording but didn't really see the need for it. What I've found over the last several days is that I can get 2.5 days battery life. I don't plan on testing the "essential mode" battery life.. although my experience with the Pro 4G is that it is phenomenal in that mode. 4) Software. I love the two rows of apps on the app drawer. That is a new thing compared to the Pro 4G. The selection of apps overall is very good for Wear OS. TicZen-- this is a stress measurement app that can be set to automatically measure stress levels throughout the days and alerts you when your stress is too high… which then sends you to… TicBreathe-- an app that helps reduce stress with measured breathing exercises. Quite helpful! TicSleep-- this app uses all the sensors that you let it use to measure things like sleep efficiency, time in each sleep stage, blood oxygen level during sleep (I guess this is useful to see if you stop breathing during sleep… some people do this I hear), pulse during sleep, etc. All the info is then transferred (with your permission, of course), to your mobvoi account and displayed on the Mobvoi app on your phone where you can look at your sleeping history. TicExercise-- I believe this is the bread and butter of this watch capability… With TicMotion turned on, the watch can detect what kind of exercise you’re doing and start tracking it. I had this on when my son started a tag game in the house. It sensed I was running around the house and started tracking…. and then transferred the activity to Strava. During a road run, time, distance, pulse, calories, speed, pace, # of steps, altitude change, and of course GPS data are tracked. The different exercises available to be tracked are walking, running, swimming, rowing, elliptical, trail running, hiking, and yoga. TicHearing--it records the decibel level of the noise around you. This is probably used in the ticZen app as well. VoiceMemo-- This is a handy recording app. It transfers the memo to your phone and provides a transcript of the recording at your request. It doesn’t transcribe automatically.. you have to push a button to make that happen. My test transcription was right on. 4) Watch faces. There are MANY MANY to choose from that are free. And there are MANY MANY MANY more to choose from if you want to pay for them. Some pay watch faces were designed by Mobvoi specifically for the Ticwatches. 5) Phone calls on the watch- When it is connected via Blue Tooth to your phone, you can answer calls while speaking into the watch and hearing the caller on it. Very nice to not have to reach for my phone. The normal notifications and ability to accept or reject calls via the phone work flawlessly. 6) Customer Service... this isn't part of the watch itself but it helps to know that an email to customer service is responded to in a very timely manner. This is my experience anyways. They are very responsive.

I’ve upgraded from the Ticwatch Pro 2020 (TWP2020) which I have thoroughly enjoyed since I purchased one a few months back. I was very happy with the TWP2020, but when I heard that the TWP3 would be introducing the 4100 chipset, a larger battery with a 3 day extended battery life, and a backlit LCD screen (a feature which I really wish they had on the TWP2020), I had to jump on getting a new one. Increased battery capacity - I’ve spent the past week wearing this watch on at all times and only taking it off when it required charging. I spent the first 48 hours monitoring how the battery would last and I’d have to say their claim of 3 days of battery life held true. I have the watch using all the health apps and keep the watch on at night to monitor my sleep duration. After spending 72 hours with the watch, I finally charged the watch so that I could go through the next cycle. It’s quite nice not having to worry about waking up to a dead watch or having to charge it nightly. One thing that I have been doing is putting the watch on ‘Essential Mode’ before sleeping, which increases the Watch Idle time, but still tracks my sleep. Health tracking – I’ve primarily been using the new TWP3 to monitor my sleep duration, and it’s been interesting to see the quality of sleep I’ve been getting (good or bad). I have also been using TicPulse and TicOxygen, though I’ve never used a SpO2 sensor before, and it’s been kind of nice just to monitor my overall health throughout the day. If you’re not happy with any of the TicHealth-related fitness tracking applications they provide, you can always switch to Google’s suite of applications. 4100 Chipset – The performance of the watch has been great. The TWP2020 was a step in the right direction with the increased ram, but with the increased ram + the new chipset, the performance has been buttery smooth. Even the boot time for the new watch has improved. Aesthetics / Overall Quality – The TWP3 is sleeker and better looking when compared to the TWP2020. One note I will say is that the TWP3 is slimmer and lighter, but I actually really liked how the TWP2020 was in terms of overall size (I may be the only one who feels this way), and also the weight. I actually really liked how heavy the TWP2020 was because the weight made it feel more durable. But the TWP3 has been very easy to wear, and while the overall size isn’t all that much different, it does look much nicer. Though I will feel sad when I get rid of my TWP2020 because I’ve enjoyed it so much over the past couple of months. I do like the new silicone band the TWP3 does come with, but as many others do the same, I have several 22mm bands which I change out from time to time. The first week, I stuck with the TWP3 stock watch band, but on my second week, I switched to the hybrid strap the TWP2020 came with (I ordered 2 hybrid straps because I liked them so much with the TWP2020). The TWP3 display does have a slight display bezel around the screen (between the display and the physical watch bezel). The TWP2020 does not have a display bezel which made it look very clean, but for the TWP3 it does not bother me as much (as it does not outweigh the new upgrades). I just hope that they will get rid of the display bezel for the next iteration. Overall – I love it. I originally stopped wearing smart watches because I felt put off at the fact that I had to charge them nightly. But I’m really digging the fact that the TWP3 can last 3 days without a charge (up to 45 days if just using the Essential Mode). I do wish we could have some flexibility in customizing what gets shown on the LCD screen, but hopefully this comes in a future model. For now – I am very very happy with my TWP3!

El reloj llegó antes de lo esperado (3 días) con envío express El reloj es muy bueno. Es fácil de usar, su uso es bastante intuitivo y con el instructivo de inicio rápido lo es más. Con la aplicación de Mobvoi y Wear OS instaladas en el celular se pueden hacer varios ajustes tanto de caratula del reloj, conectividad, manejo del asistente, administración de las notificaciones que muestra el reloj, entre otros. Hablando de las notificaciones, al inicio llegan todas las notificaciones y uno puede incluso responderlas (depende de la aplicación porque algunas no lo permiten). También el reloj vibra y hace sonido (configurable) cuando reciba una notificación o llamada. Además se pueden responder las llamadas y hablar en ellas desde el reloj porque este tiene un microfono también. Y contestar el teléfono desde la pulsera es algo que funciona muy bien. El reloj igualmente tiene servicios de google, el cual tiene un apartado dónde se puede ver cómo está el día, el asistente de google y las aplicaciones (tiene su propio play store). El asistente de google funciona bien, esperaría que fuera más detallado pero eso es tema de Wear OS más que del reloj en sí. El reloj puede medir oxigenación en la sangre, ritmo cardiaco, pasos, calidad de sueño. Esto en conjunto hace que las aplicaciones fitnes funcionen cuando empieces a dar una vuelta sin si quiera decirles que empiecen a revisar la actividad (esto es porque puedes permitirles medir tus signos vitales en segundo plano). El tema de la batería también es muy destacable porque dura aprox 3 días con todos los sensores encendidos. No he probado sin sensores encendidos pero imagino que ha de ser duradero. La batería carga muy rápido, en 1 hora aprox tenía 60% de batería lo que rendiría como 2 días así que el descargarse no es incómodo, eso sí, te tienes que quitar el reloj porque el cargador está debajo del reloj. Lo bueno también es que su cargador es magnético y muy fácil de conectar. Por último, su rendimiento es muy bueno, es rápido todo el tiempo, no me ha tocado que se "trabe" o se haga lenta la experiencia de usuario. Considero que es cómodo de usar todo el día. Si uno no acostumbra llevar reloj, solo dale un par de días sin quitarlo y te acostumbras. Es cómodo y a veces ni lo noto ahí. Lo único malo que he visto hasta ahorita es que el asistente de google no responde al "hey google" a menos que lo configures en la app de Wear OS pero gasta mucha batería. Sin embargo, dejar presionado un botón se puede activar así que tampoco es una debilidad tan importante. Por todo lo que ofrece este reloj y sus comodidades, yo opino que es un poco caro pero vale la pena

I decided to risk it and order the watch. Even on aliexpress the price was around 980 AED. Surprisingly it's original TicWatch Pro 3 GPS. I was watching a lot of reviews so I would be able to tell the difference. Speed interface is lightning fast. If any of you got any problems with sync app it means there is something wrong with your phone. Everything works flawlessly. Got the updates and enjoying the experience.

This is a great watch the battery last about 3 days its has duel screens one colour and one black and white to save battery life .NCF works no problems so far using it

Ho acquistato il Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS su Warehouse / Usato - Come nuovo. Il prodotto è arrivato in ottime condizioni e appena acceso ha proposto l'aggiornamento a Wear OS 3.5 . L'orologio è molto bello e il dual display è davvero utile, unico neo l'autonomia che non supera mai le 2 giornate a meno di non disattivare tutte le funzioni. Se ci si accontenta di usarlo solo come orologio la modalità essenziale prolunga la durata di diversi giorni.

Love the watch double watch face. Will last for 2 whole days on a single charge with all the features running. Don’t like that some of the watch face that you like to have will cost you but some free ones are free.
